Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver with CFHU and other organizations will be holding a community memorial for Shimon Peres, z"l on Thursday, October 27th at 7:00 p.m., at the JCC Wosk Auditorium, 950 West 41st Ave.

We invite you, your family, and friends to join us in remembering this great statesman of Israel. His leadership and sage counsel will be sorely missed by all.

When former Israeli President Shimon Peres, z”l, passed away on September 28th, Israel, the Jewish world, and the world-at-large lost a unique and important figure; one that will be greatly missed by all who yearn for peace.

He was a visionary, humanist, and true friend of The Hebrew University. Mr. Peres was a partner to our mission of scientific excellence and took personal interest in the advancement of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem research in the fields of nanotechnology and brain sciences. In 1985, Shimon Peres was awarded with an Honorary Doctorate degree, The Hebrew University’s highest honour.
